huh, reading through more discussion, this is kind of crazy, but the staff said it was a legitimate purchase?



User Image

Staff purchasing a ticket on a mule that is owned by staff said that the purchase was legitimate.
Huh, who would have thunk it?


Are you sure this is the person that purchased the item?

Always best to be skeptical. Especially since name dropping can get you in a ton of trouble.



User Image

[Before this image was edited to protect the user from getting a warning, it had the LicroSkein user in question as the purchaser]

[See this post here for validity of that claim.]

Sketchy.

Be careful, still. Please. D:

I would hate for you to get banned over this.

GCD learns that someone with significant wealth buys an item in the mp.....



I love how obsessed you guys are with this s**t. Its well known that gaia staff have to earn gold/items the same way we do yet instead of taking Zero Omega at his word that it checked out clean you still hold a witch hunt.

This isn't a witch hunt, it's clear that there is more to this.
The reason the gold is legitimate is because it was CLEARLY generated by a staff member.

If an admin grants someone gold/items, they are deemed legitimate. Unless you know some other way a busy Gaian artist would make their money that doesn't include: Vending (because none of them have a high enough total in gold to reach even 1 trillion), Exchanging (none of them have posted exchange threads), or Commissions (because artists aren't able to open/maintain shops on Gaia.) then please do enlighten me.

Mind you if you find definitive proof it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

So how much free time does a staff member have that they could accumulate 133 trillion gold, something people that actually spend all day on gaia exchaning/vending have not achieved.

And when they reached this level, instead of just pming the guy selling the ticket and offering like 20 trillion hell 50 trillion all easily amounts he prob would have taken they just go straight into the market and purchase the ticket?

I kinda don't understand why a Gaia artist would buy a ticket for this to begin with? Is it to just get rid of the ticket or are they actually planning on using it? It's fishy all around tbh.

Quotable Genius

can someone give me the extreme tl;dr here? staff bought a ticket for 133 trillion and we're questioning why they have so much gold and why they're buying s**t with it? maybe they bought it to re-sell through flynn's plunder for cheaper - buying it through the MP sinks some gold, whoever buys it through flynn will sink more. could be legit.

Friendly Gaian

I don't understand... can you make a TLDR or a summary of some kind?? Can someone help?

Only reason Staff grant themselves an item is for testing. They are allowed that but have to ungrant said item. Same rules apply to any avatar/pet site.

I know about that ticket. But he had bought the ticket that got him his first item.


Are you completely ignoring the fact that B R A I N himself is in this thread right now pretty much saying that even HE thinks that buying a Gold Ticket for 133 Trill is bullshit?

He even explained why not even he himself has that much gold and why he says it would be hard to acquire even through exchanging/vending.



I am not ignoring B R A I N. There is no ignoring B R A I N.


Then why are you defending this whole situation like it's a normal occurrence?
You yourself referenced B R A I N as being one of the wealthiest users on Gaia- and then when one of the wealthiest users on Gaia comes in here and says that 133tril would be pretty much impossible for even him to obtain, and explains why (equivalent to over 60 halos, etc)- you are STILL trying to make excuses for the clearly shady practices that are occurring here.

We all knew that someone would end up with this much gold by selling their Ticket for such a high price that's the risk off people taking advantage of the inflation o.o



just for everyone, I've dealt with tickets on a regular basis.. I used about 1 golden, 2 platinum, 3 rainbow and 1 obsidian left to claim --- so 7 total tickets


Prices of following tickets in halo

Obsidian - 7++ angelic halos
Platinum ticket - min. 3.5 angelic halos to 7 angelic halos worth
Golden Ticket - 3 angelic halos
Rainbow Ticket - 1-2 halos
Amethyst / Ruby Ticket - 1-2 halos
Emerald/Lapis - 0.5 - 1 halo worth




Double Rainbow - approx 2 rainbow ticket worth or 3 halos (but due to staff interference its at 133T now or 60 angelic halos worth)

This is all so crazy but I'm not surprised at all that gaia would have something this fishy going on.


Off topic: I just spotted your avatar and it really reminds me of Van Fanel from Escaflowne the movie for some reason! XD

On Topic: I am pretty much baffled by this whole topic, but what's wrong with one user on Gaia have 133 Trillion Gold now?
We all knew that someone would end up with this much gold buy selling their Ticket for such a high price that's the risk off people taking advantage of the inflation o.o

Also what has Art got to do with this situation in general?
OP, I think you should actually re-write the Opening post to stop people getting baffled? smile

If you read the thread that was linked in my OP, it's a link to Gash's thread trying to find out if there was an glitch with gold gens. There wasn't, because Zero came in immediately and so did the mule in question.

We learned not even a few pages in that the mule in question was the one that purchased the ticket.
[Before this image was edited to protect the user from getting a warning, it had the LicroSkein user in question as the purchaser]

[See this post here for validity of that claim.]

I decided to do digging on that Licor person to see what I could find, to only unearth that it's the mule of an artist here on Gaia.
133 Trillion is the equivalent of 66 halos+. The user that was taking offers on the ticket originally was receiving offers of 3-4 halos worth. That's a HUGEEEEEEEEEEE discrepancy. Why would anyone want to overpay THAT much for a ticket?

133 Trillion pumped back in to the economy is equivalent to 2-3 successful gold sinks. All of that in the hands of ONE user now.

I did some additional digging of the user Licor, and all my findings are in that first post. It's a mule of artists on the site.

They didn't sink the gold, they basically put it back in the system because one user now has 133 Trillion gold.

Not really. If this thread gets removed it's because of the serious name dropping. The thread will be removed regardless of teh validity of the claim because the thread is against ToS.
